Chapter 217 Chapter 215 Not Easy
Ge Gongdao took over the detailed information of the entrusted task from Lucy and handed it to Zhuang Xuteng, obviously asking him to study it carefully. He showed a very determined attitude and wanted this commission by name. Others could not arouse his interest for the time being.
This attitude made Zhuang Xuteng feel a little weird. He held back his questions until he left Lucy's Music Restaurant before asking.
"You haven't even thought about this? Not only have you regressed, but you've also slacked off. That's not good!" Brother Dao rarely opened his eyes and got angry. This time, he raised his hand and slapped Zhuang Xuteng on the head. He didn't use much force, but his attitude was very firm and his meaning was very clear. He said: "As soon as we got the address, we were asked to investigate. Wouldn't she, an intermediary, examine the risks and difficulties of the task? Let's do the work and return it." The main purpose of sharing accounts with middlemen is so that middlemen can filter out dangers and detect traps.”
Zhuang Xuteng felt that the slap he received was not in vain and he really deserved it.
"It can be seen that Lucy is not in good condition recently." Ge Gongdao sighed and said, "You heard it just now. The external middlemen and mercenaries plus the turmoil of the PCPD have already made the situation very troublesome. , and it’s understandable that she made some mistakes under this kind of pressure.”
Zhuang Xuteng nodded, thinking that Ge Gongdao was right.
"However, we don't need to always forgive her - unless we give her enough money." Brother Dao changed the topic and said: "Mercenaries and middlemen have their own difficulties to face. This is never a reason to take advantage of the other party. Lucy also understands this, so she gave us more money. Although it was dangerous before, 160,000 yuan was worth the risk, right?"
"Brother Dao, I think it's okay - I mean, we can all handle those battles, but it's just uncomfortable to be kept in the dark."
"Haha, you are smart and think a lot. Of course you don't like to be kept in the dark. I don't feel that way. In addition to danger, the more you know about other things, the more trouble you have." Ge Gongdao smiled and pinched his waist. , said: "What are your ideas for the next task?"
"This task is difficult to do. The key is not only how to escape safely from the company's business development manager, but also how to confirm that they are having an affair, where they are having an affair, and how to arrange it in advance to get the evidence." Zhuang Xuteng sighed, Said: "I only know how to stalk, but should we stalk the senior inspector of PCPD, or the manager of the development department?"
"It's quite difficult, so let's not think about it first..."
"Don't want to? Are you saying you don't care about it? This is a commissioned task!"
"I didn't say ignore it, I just asked you to let it go for the time being and don't act in a hurry." Ge Gongdao explained: "If you don't know how to dig up this kind of dirty information, then you go learn it. Find a paparazzi to teach you, go Ask about any suitable equipment and make some preparations! As long as you don't disturb those two guys, you can do anything. Don't forget, this commission has no deadline."
"Brother Dao, the reason there is no mission deadline is because we don't know when they will be able to provide evidence, not that we can postpone the mission time at will."
"My suggestion is to drag it back." Ge Gongdao asked Zhuang Xuteng to pull over and said to him: "Think carefully about why you need to drag it back. Lucy is testing you all day long, so I have to do the same, otherwise you won't think."
Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand and said, "This is too simple. Brother Dao said that this matter should be postponed, so it should be postponed. Is the logic very smooth?"
"Hey, are you enlightened? Haha, okay, you are such a flatterer..." Brother Dao smiled, and then said: "The purpose of finding the senior inspector's dirty information is to blackmail him and make him support our local people. . But... he is a very calculating person. Whether it is his wife or his current lover, it is obvious that he will serve his ambitions. He will not be destroyed along with outsiders. "
In fact, Zhuang Xuteng had already thought of it when Ge Gongdao started to explain. The struggle between the outside middleman and the local middleman has reached the stage of showdown. Regardless of whether there is any dirty information from the senior inspector, the frame-up operation will be carried out and will not wait for the two of them to complete the commission.
"As long as we wait, this commission will not be so important. The more likely scenario is: Lucy takes back the commission and asks us to do other things. Don't think she is losing money, she knows this in her heart and is entrusting us with the task When the time comes, I will be mentally prepared.”
"Brother Dao, Lucy also understands? She understands that the entrusted task may go unresolved, and she also paid us the reward in advance?"
"Well." Ge Gongdao sighed and said: "Lucy fainted from work and came back to her senses after my reminder. A middleman is not afraid of having nothing to do, but is afraid of making mistakes. She can't just think about defeating her now. When an opponent gets benefits, she should first safeguard her own base—that is, us mercenaries—and then rectify her intelligence network and slowly eat away at her opponent instead of trying to swallow her opponent up. Now it is just competition within the industry, not a middleman. There is a difference between the two."
Zhuang Xuteng studied this sentence carefully, and then sighed: "Brother Dao, do you want to change your career to become a middleman?"
"Pull it down! I don't do that kind of labor-intensive work. I don't think about these things myself, I just hear people say them more, so I remember them. Before Lucy, I didn't have any ideas for a long time. I am a professional intermediary, so I have dealt with many people. Sometimes I will talk about the world and tell stories about the industry. I don’t think like you, I just tell stories.”
"Stories are wisdom. If you can apply what you have learned, it is a manifestation of wisdom." Zhuang Xuteng continued to flatter him.
"Praise me more. Although I don't buy your tricks, I feel good when you flatter me like this! Haha!" Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Don't think about this commission when you go back. Take a good shower and have a good sleep first. I'll go find out who has experience in this area. We are doing this commission for the purpose of learning skills. Even if we can't use them this time, it's better to have more skills. In addition, I'll go find out about the otter."
"Okay, you have many connections, go and find out." Zhuang Xuteng drove again and took Ge Gongdao to find his motorcycle. Along the way, including after he returned home, Zhuang Xuteng kept thinking about Ge Gongdao's words and reconsidered the relationship between mercenaries and middlemen. Gradually, he understood what Ge Gongdao meant and corrected one of his wrong thoughts. Mercenaries are not tools of middlemen, nor are they workers hired by a factory called "middlemen"; mercenaries make a living by their own abilities, and they must also carefully select the level of the middleman platform. Both parties need to achieve mutual success, and the essence is a partnership.
"Yes, the commission income is divided into accounts, just like the dividends of shares, this is a cooperative relationship - why didn't I understand it before?"
It's right that he didn't understand it before. If it wasn't for helping his brother to invest in a company, Zhuang Xuteng would never learn about shares, companies, and investments. Before, his understanding of business was limited to basic salary and bonuses, and he didn't even know what unemployment insurance and pension insurance were. When the Magic Crystal Factory closed, he followed his coworkers to know that he had to collect compensation, otherwise...
I don't know what happened to his former coworkers? Since the "riot" that day, he has lost contact with many of his coworkers. He had no way to deal with it. Some people died that night, and then their "workers' association" was disbanded. Zhuang Xuteng didn't have a phone number at the time, and the same went for his friends. Once the chaos and moving, they couldn't contact each other at all.
"If I can still contact them, maybe I should help them, such as introducing them to work in my brother's company."
The new company is called Bentu Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which is the one that Ge Gongdao believes defrauded him. Zhuang Xuteng had asked about it, and it was not a scam, nor was there a delay in the company's production schedule. It was that after the TV station was bombed, their product promotion activities were postponed, and the grand opening ceremony was also postponed...Ge Gongdao would get his car, so there was no need to worry.
The Gardener Organization had caused a lot of impact. All things worth celebrating were either not celebrated or greatly discounted. New product launches and exhibitions, which were originally held in Peicheng, were either postponed or relocated, which dealt a heavy blow to Peicheng's important exhibition economy.
There were more unemployed people, and some who were asking for wages. They passed by Zhuang Xuteng's residence, holding banners and walking along the street to a certain company. When Zhuang Xuteng saw them, he thought of himself in the past, and couldn't help but feel lucky that he had chosen the path of mercenary and mixed well. He could already live in a big house, with iced juice in the refrigerator at any time, cooking in the kitchen at any time, and taking a hot bath without considering the cost.
He drew the curtains and stopped looking at the things on the street, but began to think about the commissioned tasks. Since the relationship between mercenaries and middlemen is mutually beneficial, they should help when they can.
The senior inspector is having an affair with the development manager. Does his wife know about it? Can he really change his position by threatening him with a scandal? Zhuang Xuteng thought of a detail, that is, Lucy mentioned that the paparazzi can't do this, because the paparazzi are no match for the company's business development manager.
This sentence can be thought of from another angle, that is, the senior inspector and his lover already know that they are being targeted, and they have personally "sent away" the paparazzi. In this case, they did not stop dating, which can only mean that they are fearless and have even prepared a back-up to deal with all variables.
"The senior inspector is also the deputy currently used by the acting director, which can prove his ability - even if he is best at flattering, he must be a master."
It should be known that flattering is a great test of the ability to observe words and expressions and respond on the spot. If you can flatter well, at least it means that this person is very good at handling interpersonal relationships. Such a person must know the status and kind of people his wife and father-in-law have, and he must also understand the risks of finding a lover.
Zhuang Xuteng felt that something was a bit strange, so he took out the information of the commissioned task and checked it carefully. There was no time limit for this task, so Lucy gave them all the information and did not ask them to return or destroy it. Well, from this point of view, Lucy was just trying to stabilize them as expected by Ge Gongdao.
"Let me help you analyze it..." Zhuang Xuteng treated this commissioned task as an intellectual game to see if he could find the key point.
Judging from the public resumes of the senior inspector and the development manager, the possibility that they were childhood sweethearts or former lovers is almost non-existent, which also prevents the recurrence of old feelings. From the appearance, Zhuang Xuteng still thinks that the inspector's current wife is better looking, but he cannot rule out the difference in people's aesthetics. He recently saw an outrageous thing on TV. Someone went on TV and said that his gender was an armed helicopter and he must marry the red refrigerator at home, and said that the refrigerator was very hot.
"Even if it was love at first sight, it would not have made the senior inspector so stupid that he would not care about anything." Zhuang Xuteng carefully analyzed the senior inspector's information and found that he was a guy who held grudges. After being cheated by a middleman whose name was hidden, he also practiced the saying that a gentleman's revenge is never too late.
The middlemen in Peicheng knew that he was a nuisance, and he also knew that he was hated by middlemen and mercenaries, but he still managed to get by. He was really capable. From this, it can be seen that he was a person with clear goals, clever means, and long-term vision. This kind of person would not meet his lover for love or physical desire. Zhuang Xuteng believed that he was actually meeting the "company".
"Is he no longer afraid of this matter being exposed?"
Zhuang Xuteng read the information of the two people over and over again, and put himself into it, and he felt that this possibility was higher and higher. This senior inspector and his lover in the business development department did not break off their relationship after discovering that there was already a paparazzi - actually a middleman - conducting an investigation. They were really fearless. This kind of self-confidence cannot be based only on the trust in the fighting ability of the business manager of the development department. There must be something else.
What could it be? Zhuang Xuteng turned his attention to his family. Everyone believed that he could climb to his current position with the help of his wife's family, especially his father-in-law who was a lifelong congressman and a justice. This relationship can indeed provide him with a lot of help, and it is very low-cost help-as long as he manages his life well. But this shrewd, far-sighted, and resourceful guy did the opposite and started an extramarital affair-no, there is a problem here.
"If..." Zhuang Xuteng frowned and thought of a possibility: "If this matter is actually the other way around, it is not the middleman who has the black material of the inspector, but the inspector has obtained the black material of his father-in-law, is the current situation reasonable?"
Think about it carefully, this situation is really possible. At the beginning, the inspector only wanted to manage his family well, live a good life, and satisfy his father-in-law, so that he could be promoted continuously until he mastered something. This thing replaced the importance and necessity of "good son-in-law", unlocked the invisible shackles on the inspector, and gave him the "courage" to seek a better platform. And this thing also determined that the inspector was not afraid of his wife's family falling out, and he could do whatever he wanted.
The relationship between the inspector and the judge could never go back to the past. It would only become more and more distorted and eventually become a compressed spring. Zhuang Xuteng felt that the key to this matter was not to catch the inspector and the manager in bed doing sports photos or videos, but whether the inspector's wife and father-in-law needed help. If there really was such a handle, getting it would be much better than creating new cheating photos.
But this is still my own theory. What is the actual situation requires more investigation and research. Who can do this? Zhuang Xuteng thought of the meteor. The girl who was afraid to go out didn't know if she had returned home. This time the intelligence was wrong, she must have been bear-bearing, right? Well, I should go see her, comfort her, and ask her to check the information in this regard.
